Dumas Wooden Hydroplane

Great project. I love hydroplanes. I have been to a race in Seattle and have visited the near by Hydroplane Museum

If your not feeling it putting it away is a good decision. I’ve got a couple projects that are in the stalled stage at the moment.

You are so right. When you’re not enjoying it and trying to force it, so you can just be done with it. It is obvious that you are not giving the project the attention it deserves. For Christmas I received a new model for a gift plus I have just bought a new spray booth.  I have been looking forward to playing with my new booth and making the new model.  I feel compelled to make a gift quickly otherwise it gets put on the shelf and forgotten about with the rest of the stash.  When somebody gives you something they like to see it put to use.  I like to prioritize those builds and then send a picture to show I appreciated the gift.  At least for me it seems the right thing to do.

Thanks for all your feedback along the way with this project.

Tragedy!

Turns out I did not have as a secure mounting as I thought.  I heard a crash and went exploring. Found her on the ground.

Bummer!! That truly sucks.

Thanks.  It did.  I have it sitting in the corner.  Every time I go into my shop I  look at it and debate its future.  In the beginning I thought it was destined for the garbage but now my disdain for it is decreasing so it may get a redo.
